Jackie Greene's music video for “Fragile and Wanting”, the heartfelt and earnest ballad from his 2018 release The Modern Lives Vol. 2, wasreleased on Friday via Relix Magazine.  Directed by Anthony Simpkins of GemsOnVHS, “Fragile and Wanting” paints a picture of tender memories interspersed with some visual trickery allowing Jackie to appear as every member of the band in a live performance, as he did on the record, playing every instrument himself.  Greene told Relix Magazine, “Like most romantics, I've always been a sucker for a sappy ballad.  Especially the kind you listen to privately, on headphones. This is that type of song. Meant to be enjoyed alone. On headphones. But, if you end up blasting it in your car while you cruise around on the weekend, that's cool too. You might get some funny looks, though.”  For more about the song and to see “Fragile and Wanting”, click here.
